CAFÉ ORFEU Yellow Bourbon 8.8oz Coffee Beans — 100% Arabica Light–Medium Roast with Bright Citrus Aroma

CAFÉ ORFEU Yellow Bourbon is a 100% Arabica, light–medium roasted specialty coffee from Brazil, delivering bright citrus aroma and balanced acidity in an 8.8oz bag.

Roasted and packaged in Brazil, this Yellow Bourbon selection highlights the varietal’s natural sweetness and lively acidity while maintaining a smooth, approachable body. The light–medium roast preserves delicate fruit notes and floral undertones, making it an excellent choice for filter brewing, pour-over, or a gentle espresso. Each 8.8oz bag contains beans sourced and processed with attention to terroir and roast precision so you receive consistent flavor cup after cup.

What flavor profile can I expect from Yellow Bourbon?

Expect pronounced citrus and bright fruit notes layered over a sweet, honey-like base. The roast level is calibrated to emphasize the varietal’s natural acidity without creating harshness, resulting in a lively, clean cup with a fragrant aroma.

• Primary notes: lemon, orange zest, and citrus blossom
• Supporting tones: honeyed sweetness and light floral hints
• Mouthfeel: medium body with a crisp finish
• Best when brewed: pour-over, Chemex, or an aeropress for clarity

How does the light–medium roast affect extraction and brewing?

The light–medium roast preserves volatile aromatics and acidity, which rewards slightly longer extraction for balanced sweetness. Use slightly coarser grinds for drip and pour-over methods and a finer grind for espresso to control brightness.

• Pour-over: medium-fine grind, 1:15–1:17 ratio for clarity
• Immersion (aeropress): 1:14 ratio, 60–90 second steep for rounded sweetness
• Espresso: fine grind with shorter extraction to prevent over-extraction
• Water temperature: 195–205°F (90–96°C) to highlight citrus notes

Where are the beans sourced and how are they processed?

These Yellow Bourbon beans are produced in southern Minas Gerais, Brazil, then ground and roasted locally to maintain freshness. CAFÉ ORFEU follows a farm-to-cup approach, focusing on careful harvesting and gentle processing to preserve varietal character.

• Origin: southern Minas Gerais, Brazil
• Varietal: Yellow Bourbon, 100% Arabica
• Processing: carefully dried and prepared to protect fruit-forward flavors
• Roast: light–medium to retain aromatic complexity

How should I store and enjoy this 8.8oz bag for best freshness?

Keep the bag sealed and store it in a cool, dark place to preserve oils and volatile aromas. Opened coffee performs best within two to three weeks; consider buying smaller quantities if you drink coffee infrequently.

• Storage: sealed container away from heat and light
• Use window: peak flavor within 2–3 weeks after opening
• Grind just before brewing to maximize aroma
• Recommended grind: match to your brewing method for best results

Who is this for? CAFÉ ORFEU Yellow Bourbon appeals to home baristas and specialty coffee drinkers who enjoy a bright, fruit-forward cup with clear citrus aromatics and moderate body. It’s ideal for those who appreciate single-origin character, careful roasting, and brewing methods that highlight acidity and aroma. If you prefer bold dark roasts, this lighter profile may feel brighter than expected; if you enjoy tasting nuanced fruit and floral notes, this 8.8oz offering will showcase the best of Brazilian Yellow Bourbon.
